Museum of New Mexico Press Spider Womans Gift NineteenthCentury Dine
Book SynopsisBetween the red canyon walls of Canyon de Chelly in Arizona, in the heart of the Navajo Nation, stands an eight-hundred-foot sandstone rock formation known as Spider Rock. According to Diné oral history, this sacred place is where Spider Woman, or Na ashe'ii'tasdzáá, makes her home. For centuries, her gift of weaving has provided the Diné with a constant means of sustenance. Diné textile and basketry weavings in Santa Fe's Museum of Indian Arts and Culture collections created between the 1850s and the 1890s allow us to explore the oral history of Spi-der Woman and the early history of the Diné during this time. This book presents two viewpoints on Diné weaving. One is the perspective of Diné weaver and museum educator, Joyce Begay-Foss and the other viewpoint is from well-known Diné textile scholar and anthro-pologist, Marian Rodee. Starting with early baskets, there is visual evidence of Spider Woman's influence, for it wa

Museum of New Mexico Press Look Into My Eyes Nuevomexicanos Por Vida 8183
Book SynopsisThis book is a photographic documentation of Hispanic New Mexicans (Nuevomexicanos) taken between 1981-1983 in Albuquerque and Santa Fe and in several northern New Mexico villages. Kevin Bubriski, a New Englander, photographed people he met in their neighbourhoods, at weddings and fiestas, hanging out in parks and parades, in their cars, in front of churches, alone, together, young and old. Bubriski is invisible to us as he creates iconographic, and very personal, images in an age before selfies. Many of these photographs are timeless, while others seem to be from a time capsule of the early eighties in New Mexico. This collection will evoke nostalgia of the era and life in New Mexico back in the day. There is also universality about the images and time period that will appeal to wider audiences.

Museum of New Mexico Press Chistes Hispanic Humor of Northern New Mexico
Book SynopsisWhen I moved to northern New Mexico thirty-three years ago, writes John Nichols, I immediately fell in with my neighbours and commenced laughing. As folklorist Nasario García explains in his introduction to this collection, falling in with the voices of laughter and comic relief is a timeless, vital aspect of Hispanic culture. !Chistes! brings together for the first time in English and regional Spanish a medley of orally gathered humorous anecdotes from northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. The chistes range in form from practical jokes, pranks, slips-of-the-tongue, hyperbole, solecisms, slapstick, and double entendres. True for most of the villages and towns represented in this collection, Hispanic humour is a function of folks who understand how to deal with difficult times with verve and at time self-deprecation, places with a strong communal identification, where everyone knows everybody''s business and tells it with good-natured fun; where nothing is off limits, not even the
